Hi, I've just been encouraged (today) by my GP to give that Moseley 800 cal diet a try and I think I'm going to do it. How did you find it? I'm not going to follow it exactly, but will limit my calories to 800 (I hate lentil soup and that is one of the recommendations). Glad to hear you've had...

Thanks for that...it looks like something I'd have to make myself, which I've never done, but I'm willing to give it a go.

I appreciate the recommendation as well. We often to 'make your own pizzas' with the kids and I've been a little worried about how I can still participate, and I think those wraps might be the answer.

Thanks both of you. That's why I was asking. I understand the exercises might have made a difference, but I figured that might be part of the equation at one point. I think I'll wait until I do a free trial of a Libre and do the experiments then. I'm trying to bring down my overall sugars before...

Hey, I have a quick question. I've been low carb for almost a month now, and my sugar readings (aside from the morning fasting readings) appear to be fine, I've still yet to meet with my GP upon getting the results (it'll be a month from the phone call to the appointment, which I found a bit...

Hi, thanks so much for responding! Yes, these are all 2 hours after eating. I've not officially been diagnosed, I got my Hb1ac results and then they didn't schedule a GP appointment for almost a month after, so I'm trying to get as much info/data as I can, in hopes that the GP will let me...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some advice about my readings. I've only had my monitor for a few days, and I think it's going okay, but would love to have some verification that I'm on the right track. So over the last few days here are my readings (I don't eat breakfast)...

Post lunch was 7.3! So looks like could handle that one piece of bread...dare I try for two next time? Either way, I'm feeling really positive about things, at the very least it looks like my meal choices have been good so far.

That is super useful information. Thanks!

That's good advice. I'm feeling perfectly fine now, but that could have been part of it. I tried to make an extra effort to drink more water to stay hydrated, but didn't really think about the electrolytes, so I'll look into what I can do about that. I've been skipping breakfast, and today did...

Thanks so much for this. I would like the weight to continue to fall off. It seems to be holding strong and even going up a bit, but since it's a certain time of month, not too surprised and it should go back to normal/lose even more. Even me just cutting out sugar and carbs has to make things...

Oh, that's very interesting to know...and thinking about it that way makes it a bit more real. But now I can see that is a decent result. Again, it's only one meal, but hopefully the other readings follow suit. I'm a researcher by heart (and profession), so while I don't want this, I am kind of...

Thanks so much for your reply, HSSS I really appreciate it. I'll know to not stress too much over my fasting sugars if they're not coming down enough to my liking. I'll be interested to see what they are and how the rest of my meals work. So if I'm already feeling pretty good with intermittent...

Hi everyone! I'm unfortunately joining the diabetes club. I've suspected it was in the pipeline as I've got a family history of diabetes (it doesn't run in my family, more like gallops), had GD with 2 of my 3 pregnancies, middle age and overweight...basically tic all the boxes). I was actually...
